Title:

Editing seems too hard

Theme:

Recent Changes, Wild Ideas

Type of session:

Meetup

Abstract:

As a meetup or series of lightning talks, we invite people to show their favorite gadgets (Preferences->Gadgets) in Wikipedia/Commons/Wikidata and beyond. Oftentimes, amazing new features and functions are available but are unknown to users. Very quick 30 second demos of some high impact and favorite gadgets can be a game changer for many who have struggled with batch editing or doing complex tasks.

This was inspired by an informal meetup at Wikimania 2023 where Commons gadgets such as VisualFileChange, Global Usage Badges, and ACDC were demonstrated and installed for a number of folks who did not know they existed.
